For the third consecutive season, the Dodgers will pay tribute to the men and women of our nation’s Armed Forces by honoring a “Veteran of the Game. Tomorrow’s Veteran of the Game is U.S. Navy Operation Specialist 1st Class Petty Officer Daniel Jimenez Jr. of Belton, Texas. Jimenez completed two counter narcotic-terrorism deployments in South America and helped commission the U.S.S. Sampson serving as its anti-submarine tactical air controller. Jimenez was scheduled to serve as our Veteran of the Game last season but was called for deployment to the Middle East. He has just returned from his 7 month deployment and is currently working toward his Master’s degree in Education.
